    drm: Use drm_mode_copy() · a3342f4d
    Ville Syrjälä authored
    struct drm_display_mode embeds a list head, so overwriting
    the full struct with another one will corrupt the list
    (if the destination mode is on a list). Use drm_mode_copy()
    instead which explicitly preserves the list head of
    the destination mode.
    
    Even if we know the destination mode is not on any list
    using drm_mode_copy() seems decent as it sets a good
    example. Bad examples of not using it might eventually
    get copied into code where preserving the list head
    actually matters.
    
    Obviously one case not covered here is when the mode
    itself is embedded in a larger structure and the whole
    structure is copied. But if we are careful when copying
    into modes embedded in structures I think we can be a
    little more reassured that bogus list heads haven't been
    propagated in.
